Steven Lisberger's iconic 1982 movie Tron mostly unfolds within the fantastical realm inside video games, where programs, portrayed as characters in glowing outfits, compete on the virtual landscape in lethal games. These entities are brutally destroyed (or “erased”) in the Combat Zone and obliterated by jetwalls in high-speed showdowns. The filmmaker's 2010 follow-up Tron: Legacy ventures inside the virtual domain for further vehicle combat and further combat on the Grid.

Joachim Rønning's Legacy continuation Tron: Ares adopts a marginally lesser interactive approach. In the movie, digital entities still fight each other for existence on the digital world, but mainly in high-stakes battles over secretive files, functioning as representatives for their business makers. Security programs and infiltration programs clash on corporate systems, and in the real world, Recognizers and light cycles exported from the Grid operate as they do in the simulated universe.

The warrior program the protagonist (the star) is a further modern creation: a super-soldier who can be infinitely 3D reprinted to engage in battles in the real world. But would the flesh-and-blood actor have the real-world abilities to make it if he was inserted into one of the Grid’s challenges? In a latest interview session, actors and filmmakers of Tron: Ares were inquired what digital environments they would be most apt to make it through. Here are their responses — but we have our own judgments about their capabilities to survive inside virtual worlds.

Greta Lee

Part: In Tron: Ares, Lee portrays the CEO, the CEO of ENCOM, who is distracted from her corporate responsibilities as she seeks to retrieve the crucial information assumed to be remaining by Kevin Flynn (the star).

The digital environment the actress feels she could endure in: “My little ones are really into Minecraft,” she explains. “I wouldn't want them to know this, but [Minecraft] is so amazing, the realms that they create. I think I would want to go onto one of the worlds that they've made. My younger child has designed this one with creatures — it's just packed with birds, because he adores parrots.”

The actress's likelihood of success: 90%. If Lee simply stays with her kids’ birds, she's secure. But it's unknown whether she is aware of how to steer clear of or handle a Creeper.

Evan Peters

Part: the actor embodies the rival, the leader of ENCOM rival Dillinger Systems and descendant of Ed Dillinger (the actor) from the first Tron.

The virtual world the actor thinks he could survive in: “I certainly would definitely be defeated in the [Disc Arena],” he said. “I would go into BioShock.” Clarifying that reply to colleague the star, he states, “It's really such a excellent video game, it’s the best. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, incredible dystopian environments in Fallout, and the title is an underground, decrepit nightmare.” Was he understand the question? Unclear.

Evan Peters' chances of success: In BioShock? Five percent, comparable to any other regular individual's chances in Rapture. In any of the Fallout game? A modest chance, only based on his charisma level.

The Actress

Role: the actress portrays the mother, mother to the son and child to Ed. She’s the ex CEO of the company, and a increasingly rational director than Julian.

The virtual world Gillian Anderson feels she could make it through: “Pong,” said the actress, regardless of her apparent knowledge with the title Myst and her featured appearance in the 1998 interactive software The X-Files Game. “That's as advanced as I could handle. It'd take so a while for the [ball] to approach that I could duck out of the way quickly before it arrived to strike me in the body.”

Anderson’s likelihood of endurance: Fifty percent, depending on the simple nature of Pong and whether getting struck by the object, or not returning the pixel back to the other player, would be lethal. Additionally, it’s really dark in Pong — could she tumble from the platform to her end? What does the dark abyss of the game do to a person?

The Filmmaker

Position: the director is the director of Tron: Ares. He additionally helmed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The digital environment Rønning believes he could endure in: Tomb Raider. “I am a child of the ’80s, so I was into the Commodore 64 and the console, but the first experience that got to me was the first ever Tomb Raider on the console,” Rønning says. “As a movie guy — it was the original title that was so engaging, it was physical. I doubt that's the title I would really like to be in, but that was my original remarkable experience, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's probability of endurance: 20%. If Joachim Rønning was placed into a Tomb Raider title and had to deal with the wildlife and {booby traps
